Uh, yeah. A girl in cycle... four? Three? Plus some dude in five. He was a repeat,too.

Then there was the one that didn't know I wasn't Taako and got confused at second base.

I almost slept with a guy in an even later cycle because I was so annoyed that Bar didn't get the hints... but I couldn't. Too into the nerd.

(She got right into it. Lucretia's silently impressed.)

Woah woah woah, time out. One that didn't know you weren't Taako?

Explain.

[Lup doesn't mind sharing, especially not little trysts that didn't hurt.

She laughs at Lucretia's reaction and winks.]

They had the hots for Taako and didn't know we were two hot elves, so they flirted with both of us until they found my tits. It was hilarious.

[scholiast]

Poor, unfortunate soul.

(How many good willing, horny people have been laid low by the Taako twins over their century abroad in total? Perhaps too many to count.)

I can't believe you christened the century three cycles in. It took me– (she has to think for a moment, puffing her cheeks out,) until sixty-eight, to even really give flings any consideration.

(She'd been too absorbed in her work before, too shy. Once she'd started venturing off the ship a lot more and deliberately interacting with the people that inhabited the worlds they were visiting, it started to present itself as an option.)

[Far too many people across the realities, honestly. The double flirt was a really good scam if they ever needed cash.

This specific one had just been one to come back and bite them in the ass. (Almost like karma.) ]

Hey, it's a great way to blow off some stress... and fuck if we weren't stressed those first years.

[Blowing shit up as therapy kind of paled in the face of a world being destroyed. Until they started getting used to it, at least.

...and what a crazy thought that was. ]

It was kinda easy since it could never last. Never been that kinda girl before Barry, having long relationships... even if I dreamed about stupid love stories sometimes. Because in the end, I could only trust Taako and myself. Everyone else had to be expendable, or it would hurt more when it eventually fell apart.

Until we met you guys. Ten cycles in and I kinda changed my mind about trust. Dying together a lot weirdly fixed my shit outlook on life.

[scholiast]

You're telling me.

(Until they had fallen into routine it had all been very by the book, very no nonsense. Pretty stressful, perhaps more so for the others than her for. Lucretia had read a lot, and recorded a lot, and stayed behind on the Starblaster. A lot.)

Aw, (she says, and smiles minutely.) That's... nice, in a strange way.

(Mostly she's glad Lup found a reason to trust.) What kind of love stories did you dream about, Lup?
